FRENCH SPOLIATION CLAIMS.
Why Their Presentation Has Been Delayed
The Outlook for Their Payment.

Why Their Presentation Has Been Delayed
The Outlook for Their Payment.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The time for filing
French speliation claims under the act of Con
gress of January 1885, will expire on the 2Oth
of January next, and 1t is probable that by that
time great many cases will be still unprepared
and all hope will in consequence depart of ever
securing anything for many claimants for losses
incurred upwards of one hundred years ago
Up 20 the present time eleven cases have been
decided, and have been referred back to
Congress, with the recommendation that
they should be paid. They went to the
judiciary committee. and Randolph Tucker is
ommending their payment. This will probably
be forthcoming when Mr. Tucker sees fit to as
sumo his seat in Congress II is said that about
a thousand cases known to exist are still back
the attorneys having been unable to prepare
them rapidly enough to file them up to the pres
ent time. Congress can scarcely evade the pay
ment of these claims, now that the court TO
which they were referred has unanimously de-
termined that the government is liable It is
said, however, by interested parties that if the
State Department and Department of Justice
had taken the pains to prepare a
brief for the government different result might
have been expected, but that the case of the
government so poorly prepared while that
of the claimants was so well set before the court,
that that tribunal could do nothing else than de-
eide in favor of the claimants. The eleven
cases which have been already settled have in
volved about $50. 900. No one can have any idea
of what the final result will be. but if Congress
authorizes the payment of these adjudicated
cases. there can be no reason why the others
which are still TO be decided shall not be paid;
and as several millions of dollars are said to be
involved, it is likely that the aggregate ap2ro-
priation required for the payment of these
claims will aid materially in reducing that enor-
nous surplus the treasury which seems to
bother noliticians 40 much

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Report of a Commission Showing Oppressive
Racis-Renting in Scotland.
LONDON, Jan. 2.-The report of the Scotch
crofters commission betravs the existence Of a
system of rackrentsin in the highlands as deplorabe
as any known IN Ireland. The decisions of the
commissioners provide for reductions of rent
ranging from Is to 80 per centum and averaging
80 per centum. The English tenant farmers are
looking on with great interest, while the Irish
and Scotch brethren are being relieved Of from
quarter to third of their~ crushing burdens,
and it cannot be doubted that the next imper-
ative demand for similar redress will come from
England. where, in some sections, the rack rent
system is carried to almost as great a length as
in the localities mentioned.

MINOR MATTERS.


The President Will probably lie empowered
to RetaHate Against Canada.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-It is likely that the
power of the President to retaliate upon Canada
for its uncharitable, unneighborly and unchris-
tian acts toward American fishing vessels will
be extended before the present Congress- comes
to All end. The immediate cause of the present.
feeling against the Dominion is the fact that
imperial assent has now been given to the new
Canadian fisheries act, which is locked upon as
the most stringent and oppressive measure Of
legislation that ever was enacted by a civilized
community. This new act gives the Canadian
authorities power TO seize any vessel, whether
fisherman or trader, found within the three mile
limit of the Canadian coast, and to put the Off
GERS and crew through inquisition. and to
seize and forfeit the entire outfit of the vessel
thus caught, if she is proved suspected OF
fishing or preparing to fish. or has entered the
Canadian waters for any purpose not permitted

Senator Jones' Gall.


DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 2.-Senator Jones, of
Florida, in an interview to-day, announced that
he will not go to Washington this winter, after
all; but that he will stay right here in Detroit
until the Florida Legislature meets, when he
will be candidate for reelection. 1t ia under
stood that Editor Grady's New York speech and
the influence the Atlanta gentleman has in
Florida affairs, is the direct cause Of the eccen-
trio Senators change of mind He had told his
friends, month since, that he would occupy his
seat in the Senate after the holidays.

The Fisheries Dispute.

LONDON. JAN 2-Sir Lionel Sackville West
British minister at Washington, informs the
government that he is in receipt of communica
tions from Canada showing favorable prospect
for resumption of negotiations at Washington
looking to renewal of the fisheries treaty on
the basis approved by the Dominion government,
as alreai Y made public. The minister expresses
his belief that the project will be favorably con-
sidered and finally accepted in its substantial en-
tirety by the American government.

Perform Their Duties.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-s"raz about reform
in the departments" said an Interior Depart
ment clerk the other day; 1.-The reform carried
on by this administration is enough to make ons
tired. For instance, large number OF the
chiefs of divisions appointed by Cleveland are
men from the interior of States-from small
places-and who have never had the experience
of a business man. They were politicians, who
never had occasion to write a business letter,
and who cannot do it. You see a great to-do in
Democratic papers about the sincerity of the
administration in retaining in places men who
have been chiefs of divisions for years, and who
are reduced to cerkshps rather than throw
them out upon the world. This is claimed to be
done to repay them for past services. Some
of the old chiefs have consented to
sists in making new place for these old
clerks sort of private secretaries to the un-
worthy new appointees. What do they do!
Why. they do the entire work at ST.. 800 year,
while the chief draws s., 800 to So. 900 and does
nothing. Why, my dear sir, have seen these
same chiefs so incompetent that they were act
ually unable to check off their correspondence
The old chief sits opposite the new reform chief
and checks off his mall Yes, writes the initials
of the new man because the political reform
chief is unable to do it rightly Even after
months of coaching there are chiefs now in
various of the government departments unable
to transact or superintend the business of their
divisions. and the old chief, as an 81, 500 clerk
does it all.
Men are appointed now to repay some polit-
ical debt For instance Senator Voorhees, de-
manded and secured the appointment of two
chiefs simply because they had voted for him
for Senator twice while in the Indiana Legisla-
ture He is not the only Senator who has
palmed off such men,"

PARNELL'S LETTERS.

Plan for National Councils
LONDON. Jan. 2.-Amone the sensations of the
week has been the promised publication of let
tiers from Mr.. Parnel to Captain OShea, approv-
ing Mr.. Chamberlain's scheme of national coun-
clls. Captain OShea, who is not now on such
good terms with Parnell as he was when the let
ters were written, recently sent to Mr. Cham
berlain the correspondence which passed be-
tween himself and the Irish leader at the time
when the councils scheme was under negotia-
tion. Mr.. Chamberlain caused the letters to be
printed. and sent proof sheets of them to Mr..
Gladstone, urging Mr. Parnells acceptance of
the plan of nssonal councils in 1881 as a reason
why the Liberals should now adopt the scheme.

Mrs. Druse Tells Her Side of the Story.

Special TO the Indianapolis journal
New YORK, Jan. "A reporter of the Star
was recently sent to Richfield Springs and vicin-
ity to investigate the Druse murder. He found
the opinion universal that Druse's brutality to.
ward his wife justified her killing him. He also
obtained interview with Mrs. Druse in JAIL
and she, for the first time, told the crcums tances
of the murder, showing that she was driven
to it by cruelty, and that Druse was
attempting TO stab her at the time. She de-
clared that two men of the neigh borhood came
in and witnessed the tragedy. Her counsel says
this is the reason she was not put on the stand,
as the prosecution would have called these men
to show premedtation on her part. Mrs. Druse
is hopeful that her sentence of death will be rem
dered nugatory by act of the Legislature abol.
ishing capital punishment for women.
